WORTHY OF PENSIONS.

The Brave Men Who Lost Their Lives for
| another Should BE HonorSd in the Per-
sons of Their Families.
Saturday last two colored men lost
their lives near Annapolis, Nd, in the
noble but vain endeavor to save Il fell
bowman who had broken through ice
and was struggling for life. Both
men, it is said. left dependent fami-
lies. And what of them? VIII
they be left to struggle with
the world and battle for bread,
while the heroiSm displayed by their
natural protectors is unrcco%nized and
unrewarded save by unsatisfactory and
unsubStantial praise? Are not the
families of these men entitled to a
pension from Il Government that is con-
stituted by the people for the people?
The friends of Walt Whitman, the
venerable poet, who is poor and worthy
of pension, but who is not entitled to
one under the laws of this country,
have petitiOned Congress to grant him
an annuity during his lifetime. What
| a precedent it would establish, should
Congress heed the petition and grant
the favor asked. What a score of
worthy poor would have petitions and
petitioners at the National capital, and
how the surplus in the treasury would
melt away through the charitabl
benevolence of Congresses which saw
fit to follow such preccdents set for
them. Whitman is poor and worthy;
he is entitled to pension perhaps, but
the laws do not entitle him to one. SO
also are Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Blair,
widows of Soldier-Senators, entitled to
pensions from the standpoint their
friends see their cases, but they are
not, no more than Whitman, under the
law
Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Blair and the ven
cradle Whitman may be penSioned by
the Government, but their penSioning
will not strike the public heart as
would the pensioning of the families of
the brave men who riskei and lost their
own lives to save that of a fellow be-
ing. Nor would pensions to Mrs. Lo-
gan, Mrs. Blair and Whitman meet the
same general appreciation of the peo-
pie that pension to these dependent
families would. Cases are rare indeed
where life is risked and lost to save
another; the establishment of prece-
dent to pension the families of a hero
who gives up his own life in an at
tempt to save another would meet the
general, if not universal, approval of
the people of this country. 1t would be
a precedent that would not promise a
continued and fearful drain upon the
treasury, and it would honor a Con-
gress that so honored their country BY
providing for National monument to
heroism.
Let the Government provide for the
families of the men who died so heroic
ally. Generous individuals may con-
tribute for time TO their support out
of sympathy or for the sake of charity,
but for short time only. Let Con-
greSs pension them, not in the name of
charity but in the name of Americas
duty. No fault will be found with any
member of Congress who champions
such bill.-Des Moines Leader.

"A Syracuse dispatch says that

Mr.. Blaine is reported rs SAYING:
~'Senator Dawes can not afford to ac-
cept his election under such circum-
stances. If were in his place l would
resign and let another election take
place" This because some Democrats
voted for Dawes. Perhaps Mr. Blaine
over-eStimateS his sclf-Sacriticing devO-
ton to the party. Would he have OBJ

There has undoubtedly been
much opposition to the Administration
in some sections of the South. some ex-
pressed and some uneXpreSsed. but the
work of the Administration has been so
strong and admirable that what there
was of this is gradually dying out.
Alabama certainly has no war to make
on the President, and the lesson taught
in Indiana and in North Carolina in
the last election ought to show the folly
of such war-MOntgomery 4drertiSer.

A GREAT INVENTION.
II Successful 1t VIII RevoIutIonize the
COal-MinIng Business.

COal-MinInS business.
A cOal-miner near Pittsburgh. Pa.
has secured a patent on coal-mining
machine which is expected to revolu-
tionize the coal-mining business. The
machine consists in the operation of one
or more circular saws, or disks, fitted
upon one or more shafts. The whole is
worked by means of a very small rotary
engine, set upon frame, which is
placed on wheels. so that the miner can
move it whenever he likes with ease.
The machine is put in motion by COM
pressed air or steam, or else it can be
worked by hand-pOwer. As soon as the
power is turned on the saws commence
to revolve and will be forced gradually
into and along the wall OF the coal-vein
1t will make an undercut of four and 4
half to six feet, as required, saving all
the coal which was hitherto lost by the
use OF the pick. 1t weighs less than
two hundred pounds. and can be ma
nipulated by one man. Fifty tons Il
day can be easily mined. A saving of
twenty per cent. viii be realized by the
mine-owner, as there will be no waste,
while the miner viii augment his daily
earnings by at least double the amount
without half the exertion he has now.
The working of the machine does not
require any skill or practice in the
handling of it. While, by the use of
the pick, the miners make now a great
deal of waste, the saws of the machine
by striking straight into the vein of coal
will cut solid blocks out of the vein and
make every particle of the vein market
able coal. Chic01o Times.
